The Man Who Laughs.

The man whose "Ha! hap reaches
from one end of the street to the other
may be the same fellow who scolded
his wife and spanked the baby before
he got his breakfast, but his laughter
is only the cracking of thorns under
the pot.
The man who spreads his laughter
through his life-before q late break
fast, when he misses the train, when
his wife goes visiting and he has cold
supper; the man who can laugh when
he finds button off his shirt, when
the furnace fire goes out in the night,
and both of the twins come down with
the measles at the same time-he's the
fellow that's needed.
He never tells his neighbor to have
faith; somehow he puts faith into
him. He delivers no homilies; the
sight of his beaming face, the sound
of his happy voice, and the sight OF
his blessed daily life carry conviction
that words have no power to give.
The blues flee before him as the fog
fees before the west wind; he comes
into his home like food of sunshine
over a meadow of blooming butter
cups, and his wife and children bios
som in his presence like June roses.
His home is redolent with sympathy
and love. The neighhorhood is better
for his life, and somebody will learn
of him that laughter is better than
| tears,

Let Your Light so Shine.

An earnest, godly minister relates
the following incident, and gives us
the lesson that it teaches:
During voyage to India 1 sat one
dark evening in my cabin, feeling
thoroughly unwell, as the sea was ris-
ing fast and was poor sailor. Sud
denly the cry of imam over board ~
made me spring to my feet.
l heard a trampling overhead, but
resolved not to go on deck, lest l
should interfere with the crew in their
efforts to save the poor man.
What can I dO?" [ asked myself.
and instantly unlocked my lamp. |
held it near the top Of my cabin, and
close to my bulls eye window, that its
light might shine on the sea and as
near the ship as possible. In half a
minutes time ! heard the joyful cry,
"It's all right, he's safe;;" upon which
1 put my lamp in its place.
The next day, however, I was told
that my little lamp was the sole means
of saving the mans life; it was only
by timely light which shone upon him
that the knotting rope could be thrown
SO as to reach him,
Christian workers, never despond or
think there is nothing for you to do,
even in dark and weary days. "Look-
ing unto Jesus" lift up your light; let
it ESQ shine" that men may see,' and
in the bright resurrection morning
what JOY to hear the "Well doneW
and to know that you have, unawares,
saved some soul from death J"

Macaulay'S Prophecy.
tears.

In 1857, Lord Macaulay, writing of
the American Republic, used these
words: 1.-THE day will come, when: in
the State of New York, q multitude of
people, not one of whom has had more
than half breakfast, or expects to
have more than half a dinner, will
choose Legislature. Is it possible to
doubt what sort of q Legislature will
be chosen? On one side is a statesman
preaching patience, respect for vested
rights, strict observance of public
faith; on the other is demagogue,
canting about the tyranny Of capital
lists and usurers, and asking why any
body should be permitted to drink
champagne and to ride in carriages,
while thousands of honest folks are in
want of necessaries. Which of the
two candidates is likely to be preferr-
ed by the workingman who hears his
children crying for bread? seriously
apprehend that you will, in some such
seasons of adversely as / have describ-
ed, do things which will prevent pros
perity from returning. Either some
Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reins
of government with strong hand, or
your Republic will be as fearfully
plundered and laid waste by barba-
rians in the twentieth century as the
Roman Empire was in the fifth-with
this difference, that Huns and Van
dals will have been engendered with
in your own country and by your own
iuStitutions.n

Two Scenes in a Horse. Car.

There is an old Spanish proverb
which says, make two friends for
every enemy you make. Then, what
is stolen from you IN hate will be made
good to you in affection" Another
saying, common to every nation, is,
"He who always demands his exact
rights on every occasion will never get
anything more" Riding in a horse
car lately, the writer saw an impress
slve application of these sayings.
The car was crowded, and several
persons were standing up. AS the car
rounded a curve, one man lurched
over to one side, and knocked his
neighbours hat over his eyes. The
man thus accidentally struck turned
round angrily and asked who hit him.
"I did. What're you going to do
about it ?" answered the other.
"I'd show you what I'd do about it
if I had you out of this car"
"You would, eh?"
eyes, wouldW
"Why don't you do it here?"
II will, if you don't shut up"
"You will?n
eyes"
"Perhaps you own this carp"
perhaps I do. I don't take up
more than my share of it, though"
"Well, intend to have all the room
I need. I don't mean to give up my
personal rights to any man."
"Nobody asked you to. But you
needn't push me out of my place."
"Who's pushing you out of your
place."
"You are"
"You lie!"
At this point the conductor interfer-
ed and threatened to put the disput-
ants off the car. After few more
hard words the man who had been the
occasion of the dispute got out. .
"Each man has made his enemy"
thought more than one person in the
car.
In few minutes another passenger
came in, and, as it was cold near the
door he wedged his way slowly up to
the front. In doing so he stepped on
the foot of the man who had already
had his hat jammed over his face.
"Look out! What are you doing
there? Can't you step somewhere
else?"
II beg your pardon! Very awkward
of me, Pm sure. Hope it didn't hurt
you much.'
"Well-no-not very much"
"They don't make these cars big
enough for men with big feet, like
mine and yours, ell ?"
"That's so. Ought to put on plat
form cars for us.n
"Ha! ha! ha! Good! Glad you take
it so good-naturedly."
II must get out here"
The second man got out two block s
further on, but to us who remained it
seemed as though he had breathed
into the chilly air, his own warm,
hearty spirit. That man made more
than one person happier that night.

To Save His Mother.

We have had a German baron among
us, Baron Won Carlstine, who has writ
ten book about New York and its in
habitants. One of his anecdotes is
very good and interesting: On Wash
ington's birthday he was standing in a
crowd on the corner Of Fifth avenue
and Fourteenth street, waiting for the
grand procession to arrive. The first
drums were heard in the distance,
when a young man, in his shirt-sleeves
and hatless, passed though the assem-
bled multitude and addressed the po-
liceman who kept the people back.
"Officer," he exclaimed, "my moth
er is sick in house near Sixth ave-
nue.; she has suddenly been taken
much worse, and the doctor says that
if the procession passes our house the
noise will kill her."
go. X, young fellow" said the po-
liceman, and left him to run up the
avenue, where he stood some twenty
feet before the procession and scream
ed, HALT" holding up light rattan
cane with both hands.
The word was passed along the line,
an adjutant galloped forward, bent
over his horses neck, and exchanged
a few words with the policeman.
Suddenly the command, Forward
march!n was heard, and the immense
body of men proceeded to the corner of
Fourteenth street, without any music,
except the lightest possible tapping OF
drums. Then came fright wheel J"
and nearly fifty thousand men, whom
immense crowds were waiting to see
the cheer, wheeled up Fourteenth
street to Broadway, and down Broad
way they marched without music un-
til they were beyond the distance at
which they might disturb the sick wo-
man.
No one asked why an army of we'll
drilled, admirably-equipped men,
many of them battle-scarred veterans,
turned out of their path at the simple
request of single policeman, armed
with but little rattan cane. Itwould
have been but trifling matter for
them to take Gotham; but no, the gem
eral in command, when he received
the young mans thanks, reminded
him that his very natural request was
addressed to gentlemen and soldiers.
And gentleman, be he soldier or
not, reveres the sacred name Of moth
| er.

HOUSE AND FARM
Thrift and Economy.

Economy is not parsimoDy, although,
it is often falsely so called, and by
many considered tlisreputable. 1t is a
most commendable virtue, and should
he most sedulously cultivated. 1t is
not always gift, and is as often ac-
quired as inherited. 1t is the result of
care, thought, industry aud unceasing
watchfulness, and is, indeed, one of
our highest duties. 1T is not only Il
gathering up of fragments, that moth
ing be lost" but it is also seeing that
there are few fragments to be taken
care of-the opposite of wastefulness
and extravaganza and it is only the
mentally weak who affect to despise
and ridicnle so excellent a quality.
n thrifty, economical person can
make one dollar 60 twice as far as a
needless; unthoughtful person will.
Poverty need not go hand in hand
with careless waste and shiftlessness,
though it usually does, If ever thrift
and good management are needed, it
is where money is scarce. Never ''put
your best foot forward" at the expense
of self-respect. 1t may take a great
deal Of courage to say, II cannot af-
ford it," but it is nobler far than to
hide behind subterfuges, or 60 to un-
warrantable expense to cover up unde-
sirable poverty, whose most CALLING
sting is in the fancied necessity Of
keeping up appearances''-of sailing
under false colors, and aping the ex-
penditures of more affluent neighbors.
Many, whose good sense in other mat
ters is indisputable, wear out body and
brain in the insane struggle to keep up
o style in household expenses and
dress which is utterly beyond their
means, and which blinds nobody to
the true state of affairs or, if it did
indeed blind few, it is so transparent
to others as to result only disastrously
to themselves.

Tho pnh1iC Debt.

The last call Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury for the SlS,0OO,0O0 three per
cent. bonds outstanding for the first time
in nearly quarter of century reduces
the interest-bearingd debt of the Union be-
low billion dollars. Omitting reference
to the Pacific Railroad bonds, our interest
bearing debt is now S9S7. .967 800. Twen-
ty-one years ago it was 2,3Sl $50, 294: At
that time the interest amounted to $780,
100000 year. Now it amounts to S4O,-
100000. Then the debt was S7S per head
Of population; now it is but little over
$40 each. Then the annual interest was
S4.29 per capita now it is 6S cents. Now
we are paying Al per cent. on $3.50, 600, 600
and per cent. on the remaining ST37,
100000. Then we were paying $40 per
cent. on $3.50, 100000 and 6 per cent. on
81 ,4S4, 100000. In 1880, we imported
goods the amount of S62,OOO,O 600; in 1850,
$685.. 100000.
"Public debt''-a debt saddled on mil
lions Of innocent people by the folly OF
war. By the time this debt is paid
off new crop Of patriots may he eager

selves "brayed in the mortar Judging

ReIigion-FaSt and Loose.

There is an opinion entertained by
many who are not pessimists, that the
religion of many in the present day is
not SO deep, tenacious and abiding as
that which possessed the professors OF
former generations. Whatever ground
there may be for this view of the case,
it is certain that there is great laxity
in the practice of church members,
and sad decrease often in the num-
ber of those who unite with the church
and continue faithful in their attend
ance on the sanctuary and in their
manifestation of practical piety. How
many young people, too. are often dill
igent in the discharge of the duties as
pupils in the Sabbath-school or in the
Bible class, until they arrive at what
has been called "years of discretion"
and then their love for spiritual things
wakes cold, their diligence relaXes and
they are ultimately absorbed in the
world. The restraints of religion do
not seem as binding as they once were,
the doctrines of the cross do. not be-
come so imbedded in the intellect and
heart, and the surges of worldliness
consequently obliterate the serious i'm
pressions. Here certainly is great
work for all who would stem the tide
of fashion, frivolity and worldly mind
edness-not only to secure pupils for
the Bible class and members for the
church, but to keep them garnered,
housed carefully and skillfully in the
courts of the Lord, until they become
established in the faith, active in
piety, and growing as the ccdars in
Lebanon.

ChOpping COrnstalks.

The saving in handling of manure
and of the liquid part of the measure
itself will alone pay for cutting up
stalks OF corn before feeding. 1t is
not true that cattle can be made to eat
the coarser part of the stalks except
by being starved to it, and this is more
expensive than better feeding. But
the uneaten butts make excellent bed
ding, absorbing and holding the Ii
uuid excrement better than will straw.
10 be done economically, however,
the cutting up of cornstalks should be
done with horsepower or steam. AS
most farmers have idle horses at this
season, a horsepower with convent
ences for cutting stalks of straw,
grinding coarse grain and saving
wood is a very handy thing to have Oh
the premises. By putting the power
under shelter much Of this work may
be done in stormy weather when out
of-door Jobs are impracticable.

Brother and Sister.

Sometime, somewhere we came
across an article giving advice to
brothers concerning their sisters,
which so struck us that we cut it out,
and we give it entire, hoping that our
young folks will read it and heed it:
"Young men seldom realize how
happy they can make their sisters by
small acts of courtesy. How many
brothers offer to their sisters the little
attentions which they instinctively
give to other girls or women? Nay,
how many are there who do not feel
themselves justified in venting upon
their sisters the irritated feelings
which they have felt obliged to con-
ceal in their intercourse with the
world? A brother who would not rob
his sister of the very least of her
rights will yet inflict upon her the
grave and almost irreparable wrong Of
rudeness-a wrong as irreparable as it
is dastardly. For rudeness hurts
hurts grievously and lastingly; and
what man is worthy of the name who
hurts woman? Brothers do not real
ize how far want of courteous con-
duct at home may go to wreck their
sisters future lives. They wonder at
the unaccountable liking of girls for
men whom the brothers know to be
unworthy-men whose very atten-
tions they feel to be almost an insult
to woman's good sense. Do they not
see that it is the courtesy of these men
their company manners If you
please-which makes them agreeable
to women? Women so seldom have
high standard of manhood! They so
seldom see the best of the men they
know the best. How should they not
be deceived, and mistake that outside
veneer of courtesy which makes pleas
ant the present hour for that inward
truth of character which shall be a
benediction to all their future lives?
Brothers, if you would have your sis
ters love worthily. let them at least be
accustomed to gentle manners, that
when they see them in strangers they
may not be so dazzled as to become in
capable of distinguishing true man
from sham ."-Household.
